20 Responses to Spelling is important: bowl / bowel

OMGosh! This is sooooooooooo funny. Your whole site is. Unique. I can be a grammar and punctuation snob at times. That is, until I backtrack some of my (hurried) posts, e-mails, texts and become horrified.

You just don’t know how many people out there are just like you! I am one. I will never live down calling out a spelling error between contractions while I was flat on my back in the hospital room about to deliver my daughter! There was a chart on the wall depicting the progression in centimeters of “dilaton”

This reminds me of a newspaper article about a teachers’ and cafeteria workers’ strike. The writer stated that the students were disgruntled because they “were served a bowel of hot soup” for lunch. Is it any wonder they were disgruntled? 🙂

Great stuff, I believe the grammar comics are my favorite. I truly hope you’re sharing these with your students. Although for innocence sake, and probably your job’s sake, not all of them.
P.S. what about the grammar behind innocence sake. With innocence as a possessive?
